Good Night and Good Luck

I call this dress my goodluck dress, not because I ace tests or win the lotto in it, but because I have the absolute most fun in it. Last month I went to a party in it and not only did I receive a compliment from basically every other girl in the vicinity, but also that was probably the best party I have ever been to. Last Thursday I put it on and headed out to Malibu with my mother to hang out with Chip and Pepper Foster of Chip & Pepper and also Pray For Mother Nature denim. Amongst other fun things (like free denim, yay!) the highlight was climbing the roof of their house and just chillin, you know, lookin at Catalina and the beautiful Pacific Ocean. (Thankfully I have photos of that crazy roof climbin' experience)

Coincidentally, both the dress and the bracelets I am wearing are from my aunt. She found the dress at a thirftstore a month ago and showed it to me. At first, I was hesitant, and my mother just plain hated it, but after trying it on, I decided to go home with it. I am so glad I did. It reminds me of some sort of victorian nightgown in the 1800s (of course with a modern/sherlock holmes/houndstooth/manly twist.) The bracelets are from a flea market, and last week I wore them 7 days in a row. No joke. Every single day. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc. etc and so on. I am in love with these bracelets... absolutely obsessed.

i LOVE the shape of the dress and the sleeves are beautiful! you look amazing in it!! and i love the black and gold of the bracelets as well, and how you paired the dress with the sheer tights WHY ARE YOU SO AWESOME?!

You styled the dress very good, those flatforms(such a funny new word in fashion vocabulary :D) give that vintage dress an edgy young vibe, plus the sheer tights with a rip update the look instantly! I can see where you are coming from about the bracelets, they really would GO with every outfit! :)

usually I love your outfits, and I love this one too, except for one thing about the dress: honestly put, it looks like you woke up in the morning and forgot to put on pants. It's a bit short for a dress, don't you think?

The dress is really fabulous. I love clothing with interesting shapes and silhouettes. It looks great with those super tall shoes too. And the bangles are pretty perfect. I can see why you're obsessed with them. I can't wait to see the pictures of you on the roof! XOXO

Just found your blog and oh my gosh you have such impeccable sense of style! It is just so great when you find a blog with someone who really knows how to dress (and write well!)LOVE the structure of this dress and what you have paired it with; you look gorgeous girl!

Love your blog and your style. However, I'm pretty sure that's not a dress. That's a smock. I had to wear something very similar (except in a different fabric) in my art classes when I was in elementary school.
